On Nov. 4 the Republican Party didn't just lose the White House. It lost its way. It seems Republican officials don't know what to be, what to stand for, which group of voters to appeal to, or where to look for future leaders. Once secure in its beliefs and principles, the GOP now appears to be adrift. Of course, no one likes to lose. But it does seem that many of the Republican Party elders are enjoying the experience less than most.

There is no doubt Detroit's Big Three automakers are in trouble. But thanks to an overabundance of spin and sleight of hand by some Democratic lawmakers, many Americans are probably a little confused as to why that is. And perhaps that was the idea. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., made a stink when the top executives of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler flew into Washington on private jets.
